From experts, Schaub got all the help he needed on the obscure pharmacodynamical properties of succinylcholine chloride. As an anesthesiologist, Coppolino had had the opportunity to use it frequently on surgery patients to relax their muscles. Schaub proved to the jurors that it was also used on Carmela, injected into her left buttock in such massive dosage that it paralyzed and within minutes killed her. To carry the crux of his case, the prosecutor relied on the experts-and they came through with explicit, if esoteric evidence. Although scientists never had before been able to find traces of the drug...
Moreover, its electronic organs are computer-programmed to simulate virtually all the symptoms and physiological responses the anesthesiologist may encounter during an actual operation. From a nearby console, which monitors such things as the gas rate and the amount of oxygen in the blood, the instructor can suddenly introduce lifelike problems merely by pushing a button. Sim One can be made to vomit, suffer heart arrest, go into shock, react to drugs...
...muscle relaxant succinylcholine, for example, can be injected into the robot's body, and will cause twitches in the neck area the way it does in humans. The robot's teeth are bedded in such a way that too much pressure on the anesthesiologist's equipment can knock them out. At operation's end, Sim One opens its eyes and blinks-if all goes well. If all goes badly, Sim One "dies...
Hypnosis v. Free Will. For a time, Prosecutor Vincent Keuper had his innings. His first and best witness was Marjorie Farber, still attractive at 52, who testified that she had a hypnosis-induced passion for the dark, slender anesthesiologist. After he first mesmerized her in February 1963 in order to break her cigarette habit, they saw each other "constantly." Later, she testified, Coppolino said of her husband: "That man has got to go." Then, she went on, the doctor gave her a drug with which to dispatch Farber. Her nerve failed twice, she said, and so she summoned Coppolino from...
Putting people to sleep was Dr. Carl Coppolino's specialty, and it paid well. In 1962, the 30-year-old anesthesiologist, with his wife Carmela, also a physician, built a $34,000 home at 35 Wallace Road in Fox Run, an upper-middle-class development in east-central New Jersey. As the Coppolinos' house was going up, another was rising diagonally across the street. The builders of 50 Wallace Road were Colonel William Farber, then 50, a bemedaled World War II veteran who had retired after 21 years in the artillery, and his wife Marjorie...
